This is a topic that really bugs me when I rp.

I think a lot of women play as femme-male characters as opposed to female characters--which I have no problem with--but there's usually not a lot of girls...I wonder why? I mean, I do it too, but I kind of wish more people played as women.

For the same reasons I always want to see more POC characters in roleplays, but I'm conflicted about playing one myself. I mean, I could never understand what a person of color goes through, so would it be right for me to play as one? Isn't that a bit disrespectful? A lot of roleplays are really, [i]really[/i] whitewashed, though, and they need more racial diversity.
